Basketball Note

Nugget Buddies

Being a proud participant in the Nugget FUNdamental League you are invited to play at half-time against your classmates at a B squad girls basketball game (see tentative schedule below, you will be notified if a change occurs). Participants will be allowed to attend free of charge. Come to the game at the time listed below. Wear your uniform and tennis shoes. You will get a chance to go into the locker room before the B game and listen to Coach Ben Lofgren fire up his B team before the game.

Please sit directly behind the Hawley Nugget Bench in the bleachers and watch the games. Please do not be running around the gym and up and down the bleachers. You will play on the Nugget gym floor at halftime of the B game. You are also invited to stand in line with the varsity team during the introductions of starting lineups and cheer the girls on to victory.

If you cannot attend, PLEASE email us at ladyhawleynuggets@gmail.com (or text to 218.329.2904) so that we can prepare the split-up of mini teams ahead of time.

Earn a FREE Basketball to improve your Shooting

Reminder, if you attend 5 open gyms you will receive a free basketball. Open Gym is held on Sunday's from 3:30-4:30pm in the HS Gym (November 1st through March). It works out well for us, as many players walk from practice right to open gym. Make sure to “check-in” with the Open Gym staff member to record your attendance to earn your ball.

Tournaments

While not all teams have been divided per tournament, please tentatively save the dates below. If you have a preference or prior commitment, please email us at ladyhawleynuggets@gmail.com to best accommodate your request. All girls need to bring a [women’s] basketball, filled water bottle and pants/sweatshirt to tourneys. Snacks are a great idea as well as concessions aren’t always the healthiest option. Brackets aren’t usually available until 4-7 days prior to the tournament.
